内容記述 | This report presents the results of the research conducted under the Research Project entitled “An Economic Analysis of Household Elderly Care Behavior” during the Fiscal Year 2016. The main objective of this project was to analyze the effects of providing elderly care on family caregivers’ lives using micro data from a Japanese survey. In the case of Japan, the past few decades have been observing rapid population aging as well as significant changes in family structure with a downward trend in the parent-child co-residence rate. These trends are likely to reduce the availability of family members to provide elderly care and impose a greater burden on a smaller number of family caregivers per elderly person. One of the important costs of the increasing demand for elderly care is a possible reduction in the labor supply of family caregivers. In analyzing the effects of caregiving on family caregivers’ lives, this report pays particular attention to the effect of providing care to elderly parents on the retirement plans of adult children. It is hoped that the findings of this research will help policymakers become better informed about the potential impact of caregiving on family caregivers’ retirement decisions as well as on their retirement security. Population aging is proceeding at different speeds in various Asian economies, but many of them are expected to experience a significant aging of their populations over the next few decades. Nevertheless, most emerging and developing countries in the region are not equipped with adequate systems in various relevant areas, including long-term care. Hence, it is also hoped that this report sheds light on important issues that Asian countries need to take into account when reforming (or in some cases designing) their relevant systems to prepare for population aging and the advent of an aging society. I am grateful to the Asian Growth Research Institute (AGI) for its financial support of this research. This work was also supported by JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) KAKENHI Grant Number 15H01950 and a grant from the MEXT Joint Usage/Research Center at the Institute of Social and Economic Research, Osaka University. Furthermore, the empirical work undertaken in this report utilizes micro data from the Preference Parameters Study of Osaka University’s 21st Century COE Program “Behavioral Macrodynamics Based on Surveys and Experiments” and its Global COE Project “Human Behavior and Socioeconomic Dynamics.” I acknowledge the program/project’s contributors─Yoshiro Tsutsui, Fumio Ohtake, and Shinsuke Ikeda.
